74 Practical Reasons Jon Snow Isn't Dead On 'Game Of Thrones' And Yes, Every Single One Is Absolutely Fool Proof

Nope. I won't say it. I won't acknowledge it: Jon Snow is not dead. Sure, I could keep trying to trot out all my Jon Snow resurrection theories. I could do my best to ward off the folks who think they're so much smarter than those of us who just can't get over the most honorable man in Westeros. We're not dumb, guys. We're just as committed to finding the goodness in this world as say, one Night's Watch leader who just got stabbed six times. But because the theories and the emotional knowledge we all hold within our hearts just isn't enough, I (along with fellow Bustle editors Kate Ward, Tanya Ghahremani, and Christine DiStasio) present this completely irrefutable list of 74 very practical reasons Jon Snow will come back to us.

And no, none of them are outlandish, over emotional, or weird. You are.

1. I cried at my desk this morning because I miss him.

2. And you want me to get my work done, right, GRRM? RIGHT?

3. I saw someone walking a husky on my way to work.

4. I’m pretty sure said husky smiled at me.

5. Winter is coming… through the air vents at my office.

6. No seriously. In what world can it be this cold AND Jon Snow is dead? No world. That’s where.

44. Because I can't afford the therapy I'd need to deal with Jon actually dying.

45. Because taking Jon to the White Walker battle was way too expensive of a scene to create if it doesn’t hint at his resurrection.

46. Also, stories don’t work this way. You don’t spend this much time on a character only have him die after some losers stab him while whispering like yellow-bellied cowards who ambushed the only good thing that ever happened to them.

47. Because I say so:

48. Because it was kind of cold in my apartment this morning and it’s summer which means something about White Walkers, right?

49. Because I would considering bribing GRRM with my entire year’s salary to bring Jon back.

50. Because I may or may not have already written the fan letter that promises this.

53. Because the way these guys have to layer on all that leather for the cold, the wounds couldn’t have punctured too deep, right? Go ahead and poke holes in that, Internet.

54. Seriously. If Jake Ballard can survive like a thousand stab wounds from a PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN while wearing a T-SHIRT on Scandal — in a world where magic is not a thing — then Jon Snow could survive six stab wounds from some dudes on the Watch.

55. Because Melisandre wouldn’t let him die before tapping that.

56. Because how could anyone just waste a romance like this?

57. Because Sam can’t kill all the White Walkers himself.

58. Because Jon has to live long enough to give the IKEA monkey his coat.

59. Because it’s just cruel to make us hate ANOTHER kid on this show.

60. It’s also cruel to make me choose between hating Joffrey or that kid Olly more. That’s like asking a parent to choose which child they love more. But somehow worse.

61. Because I’m choosing to believe that “if you love something, set it free” applies here.

62. Because Jon's too good at sticking with the pointy end. (WINK WINK)

63. Because Ghost owes Jon one.

64. Because Jon Snow has to live to get his own spinoff show, which will basically be one long commercial for Herbal Essences. (Alternatively, a web series titled Jon Snow Is 30… And Knows Nothing.)

65. Because characters on other shows have come back under circumstances that seemed more dire than just being stabbed a bunch of times.

66. Because a doctor didn’t pronounce him dead, so there’s still hope.

67. I called his name out in my sleep last night, and I’m 40 percent sure I’m psychic.
